If We Were Not Racing...

Capey just informed me that on October 25, 2008 we passed through this same piece of water going the other direction...significant.

An interesting topic of discussion came up on deck this morning that I feel deserves a mention. Sailing along under a lovely moonlit sky, randomly, the topic of what we would be doing if we weren’t sailboat racers. There were some really quite amusing and surprising as well as some not so surprising answers.

Bob (Rob Greenhalgh): professional big game fisherman fully sponsored by all the big equipment suppliers. He would be the owner and operator of his own game fishing boat and live somewhere fantastic.

Justin: not working but living off a large family inheritance.

Michi: professional student in Germany.

Salty: boat builder and designer...anything really so long as it is near the water.

Capey: long haul Jumbo Jet pilot...pretty much what he does now.

They even asked me what I would be doing. Easy to answer: Rock Star of course. To which the reply was you don’t have enough hair...

What would we be doing?
